Johnny Doughnuts, a cult favorite Marin County shop with Food Network cred, will host a grand opening party from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 27, at its newest location, Santana Row.<\/p>\n

The bakery and its decadent creations \u2014 rotating flavors like Maple Bacon Glazed, Chocolate Salted Caramel Old-Fashioned, Lime Mascarpone Bismark and the CroDough (croissant doughnut) \u2014 made their debut recently at the San Jose center\u2019s Park Valencia.<\/p>\n

Besides doughnuts, the celebration will feature live music, games and giveaways.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2012 as a food truck by restaurant industry veteran Craig Blum, Johnny served tech industry and other corporate clients before opening brick-and-mortar shops.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe create nostalgic, classic-style doughnuts, but in a very elevated way \u2014 using locally sourced flour, dairy and fresh fruits,\u201d Blum told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat this year in announcing a soon-to-open Napa shop.<\/p>\n

The Food Network has rated Johnny among the\u00a0Top 5 Doughnuts in America, and the \u201cEat This, Not That!\u201d website judged the\u00a0vegan and classic cinnamon rolls the best in California.<\/p>\n

The bakery also makes apple fritters, vegan doughnuts and wheat-free doughnuts and serves Equator coffee. Fresh doughnuts are made three times a day.<\/p>\n

At Santana Row, Johnny took over a spot near Urban Plates, Smitten, The Counter and Maggiano\u2019s. According to a Johnny manager, that Italian restaurant supplies a good number of customers, with diners often deciding to cap off a pasta dinner with one of the shop\u2019s large, rich doughnuts.<\/p>\n

Another source of customers? The fitness club across the square, he said, with sweet lovers often showing up after their workouts, not before.<\/p>\n
